6th Anniversary of Our Company — and a song to express my passion for its future

I want to live in the world,
            not inside my head
I want to live in the world,
            I want to stand and be counted

With the hopeful and the willing
With the open and the strong
With the voices in the darkness
Fashioning daylight out of song

And the millions of lovers
Alive in the world

I want to live in the world,
            not behind some wall
I want to live in the world,
            where I will hear if another voice should call

To the prisoner inside me
To the captive of my doubt
Who among his fantasies
Harbors the dream of breaking out

And taking his chances
Alive in the world

To open my eyes and
            wake up alive in the world
To open my eyes and
            fully arrive in the world

With its beauty and its cruelty
With its heartbreak and its joy
With it constantly giving birth to life
And to forces that destroy

And the infinite power of change
Alive in the world
